Chinese champion

Chapter 265 The Road to Glory

6月20日晚7点30，BJ时间凌晨零点，2006年世界杯小组赛第二轮最后一场比赛中国队对乌克兰队的比赛即将打响！

The weather is very hot today. From this point of view, China, which is located in Asia, seems to be more favorable than Ukraine in Northern Europe, because they should be more resistant to heat. However, for these two teams, their main players are almost all year round. The master of football in Europe, the impact of the weather on both sides is almost the same, there is no difference.

The temperature is 39 degrees, the air is very stuffy, and there is no wind... It's really not a good day to play football.

However, for the two teams that did not win in the first round, they will have to play this game as a Champions League final, regardless of the weather.

Xiao Jun posted two photos in his column on Sports Weekly. On the left is Pei Wei wearing Inter Milan's No. [-] jersey, and on the right is Shevchenko wearing AC Milan's No. [-] jersey. In the middle is the title of Xiao Jun's column: "Pei Wei VS Sheva, the continuation of the Milan Derby in the World Cup".

But probably except for the Chinese, no one would think this is an equal contest.

Shevchenko, who moved to AC Milan in 99, scored a goal in his first Serie A game, and he staged it in the fifth round of his fourth Serie A appearance. Hat-trick, this is the first record in Serie A, and it is almost impossible to surpass the record, not to mention that he has independently surrendered giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid when he was still in Kip Dynamo, In the seven years in Serie A, he has been the number one striker. Even strikers like Ronaldo, Vieri, Adriano, and Batistuta cannot compare with him in terms of goals.

As for Pei Wei, his performance in the past two years in Serie A is only at the level of a first-class star, far from super. Although there are reasons for frequent injuries, he cannot be compared with Shevchenko in any case.

A league title, a Champions League title, a UEFA Super Cup title, a Coppa Italia title, and an Italian Super Cup title.This is the honor that Shevchenko has achieved in Serie A. A club's Grand Slam winner, he has almost won all the honors that can be obtained in the club, while Pei Wei, he has only won two Coppa Italia championships. .

It is no exaggeration to say that Shevchenko's reputation alone is enough to match all the players of the Chinese team.

********************************
"We must not underestimate Ukraine just because they lost 0:4 to Spain in the first game!" Menotti pointed to the tactical board in the locker room and said: "They will lose four There are two reasons for the ball. The first is that it was the first time they played in the World Cup. The players were very unfamiliar with this atmosphere, so the experienced Spanish team succeeded in consecutive attacks. After losing the second There was a big crash after the ball, and the second reason is that their head coach Blokhin arranged a very risky lineup of 3-4-3! The two ribs were completely suppressed by Spain, but in this game, their nervousness It has been relieved, and the fate of losing and being eliminated will motivate them to play stronger, but so do we! We can't even accept a draw, because our last opponent is the strongest Spanish team in the group Don’t expect the Spanish team, which has already won two consecutive victories, to release water in the last game, Aragones will not let go of any chance to increase the confidence of the players!”

Pei Wei nodded below. Although Aragones has a teacher-student friendship with him, with the iron-blooded character of the old coach, it is more likely to choose to win the last game and accumulate his momentum to the peak Come meet your knockout opponents.

"Blokhin will probably still send out a three-forward formation, because these three players are very strong in attack. After conceding four goals, Ukraine must hope to get more goal difference. Shevchenko is of course The most threatening striker in their team, and as he grows older, he is no longer a pure center. Under Blokhin, he is more of a bridge connecting the striker and the midfielder. If he is at the top, Li, you come to watch him, if he returns to the midfield, Hu, you come to deal with him, Du, you are in charge of protection."

"The key to this game is that apart from how much we can suppress Shevchenko's performance, the wing is also a key position. In the first round of the game, it was the Spanish team's two wingers who competed against Leah and Garcia tore through Ukraine's defense on the wing, and Joaquin, who played in the second half, continued to put pressure on Ukraine's wing, so that Ukraine's counterattack was not played at all. We also have excellent wingers, Zhu, Zhang , I need you two to show your full strength on the wing, open the defense in the center, and create opportunities for Pei and the two forwards. Zhan, you are the main force today, and their central defender Rusol is only 1.8 meters tall. , who is ten centimeters shorter than you, you must seize the opportunity to pass the ball from the wing!"

"The last word!" Menotti looked around at the players: "You have to grasp the opportunity by yourself. If we lose this game, then we have no chance of qualifying. Whether we can qualify depends entirely on your strength on the field." play!"

"Yes!" The team members collectively answered loudly!
******************************
"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, today we are broadcasting for you the last match of the second round of Group H of the 2006 World Cup group match. The two sides are the Chinese national team and the Ukrainian national team. In the first round In the game, the Chinese team drew with Tunisia 2:2, while the Ukrainian team lost 0:4 to the Spanish team. In a game played three hours ago, the Spanish team conceded a goal first. : 3 turned defeat into victory and defeated the Tunisian team. With six points, they have already qualified ahead of the group stage. This game is related to the competition for the last qualifying place in this group. It is a back-to-back battle for both sides!" : "Today's weather is very hot and stuffy! The players are already drenched after 1 minutes of warm-up on the field. I think today will be a very difficult game."

"Now the players from both sides have played! Let me introduce the lineups of both sides. The first is the Chinese team. They still have the same formation as the first game, and they are also the main formation of the Chinese team. 4-4-2! Goalkeeper Wu Qi, the four defenders from left to right are Wang Xiaomin, Du Wei, Li Min and captain Sun Chenghai, the midfielder Hu Yong, the left midfielder Zhu Jun, the right midfielder Zhang Qi, the midfielder Pei Wei, and the two forwards are Zhanfeng and Dong Yuzhuo , compared with the lineup in the first round, Zhong Yan was only replaced by the high center forward Zhanfeng who played for Mallorca in La Liga! The formation of Ukraine is 3-4-3, goalkeeper Shevkovski , the three defenders are Nis Marcheni, Svidski and Russol, the four midfielders are Kalinishenko, Timoshenko, Gusev and Shereyev, and the three forwards are Shevchenko, Rybrov and Voronin! Now the national anthems of both sides are being played, and the Chinese national anthem "March of the Volunteers" will be played first!"

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves! Use our flesh and blood..." As the majestic national anthem sounded, all members of the Chinese team clasped their right hands to their chests and sang along with solemn expressions.

Although the result of the first match was disappointing, nearly 55000 Chinese fans poured into the Hamburg AOL Arena, which can accommodate [-] people, and now they are singing along with them.

After the national anthems of the two sides were played, the captains Shevchenko and Sun Chenghai of both sides took sides together. The Ukrainian team kicked off first. Then, led by Shevchenko, the Ukrainian players shook hands with the Chinese team members in turn.

When Shevchenko's hand and Pei Wei's hand were held together, Pei Wei felt that Shevchenko's hand suddenly added some strength. Pei Wei looked at Shevchenko, and there was a smile on their faces meaning.

The two have played against each other four times. When Pei Wei was still representing Mallorca, he faced AC Milan three times in the European Champions Cup and the Super Cup. Mallorca won one, drew and lost one, but that victory was due to AC Milan has already qualified ahead of schedule and has taken most of the substitutes. When Pei Wei came to Inter Milan, due to injuries and other reasons, he only played against AC Milan once in the league. Pei Wei's ghostly lob before the end of the game narrowly beat Inter Milan 3:2. It was also the first time that Pei Wei really defeated Shevchenko in the game.

Today, the contest between the two has a deeper meaning, that is, they represent their respective motherlands!What will happen to the game?No one knows.

As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the game officially began!
**********************************
"This is... what's going on?" Wu Qi turned around blankly and looked at the football bouncing happily in the net, his face was blank.

"Hey?" Wang Jianxiang was also stunned in front of the microphone. The game had just started, and he hadn't seen the situation on the field clearly before he saw the Ukrainian players cheering with their arms raised, "What happened?"

Menotti and the coaches and players off the field also stood up, and they didn't see clearly. Ukraine launched an attack at the beginning of the game and won two corner kicks in a row. It's time for the opponent to celebrate the goal.

The big screen above the stadium played the slow motion just now, and all the Chinese fans stretched their necks to watch.Kalinishenko took a corner kick from the right for the second time in a row. Hu Yong, who was in the front, slipped. Wu Qi made a wonderful save at such a close distance. The ball changed direction and hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area. Wang Xiaomin made a big-footed clearance. Rusol, who was dodging instinctively, flew into the goal slowly with his back on his back, and Wu Qi, who was lying on the ground, only had time to raise his hand.

"This is too..." Wang Jianxiang had nothing to say: "Only 2 minutes into the game, the Chinese team conceded a goal inexplicably! The goal was recorded on the opponent's defender Rusol, and now the Chinese team is 0:1 behind!"

"Damn it!" Wu Qi grabbed the ball and drove forward. He still remembers that the first goal he conceded on behalf of the Chinese team was in the World Youth Championship that year. The opponent was also Ukraine. A shot bounced off the crossbar and hit his back and scored the goal. Does he always do this every time he encounters Ukraine?

However, the Chinese team had won the first round of the match that time. Such a conceded goal did not affect the morale of the Chinese team, but today's situation is different. Can the Chinese team withstand the blow of such a conceded goal?
Menotti couldn't help laughing bitterly off the court, He Jin and Feng Yu looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Although this conceded goal can be said to be just a bad luck, but in such a sensitive situation, it is likely to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Looking at the celebrating Ukrainian players, Pei Wei clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "Don't be downcast! There are still 88 minutes in the game. What's the point of losing a goal? Can we be defeated by a goal? Everyone, Don't stay here, let's go kick off!"

Sun Chenghai came up, as the captain of the team and the oldest person on the field, he should say something: "Yes, what Pei Wei said is right, it's just a ball, we want to report the shot just now Revenge! What’s so great about Ukraine, isn’t it also the first time to enter the World Cup? How can we say that we have entered one more time than them!”

The players all laughed. The captain was right. We entered twice. Although we were embarrassed to mention one, the Ukrainian team has no advantage over us in this regard!

Seeing the players who were scattered on the field and ready to kick off, Menotti smiled, relieved, and sat back again.

"These little guys are finally a bit mature." Maradona leaned over, took out a cigar from his pocket and lit Menotti's lighter: "It's not terrible to lose a ball, it's terrible. It's about being hit by a ball to confidence."

"Yeah, after the first game, they have relaxed a bit. As long as they can play with a normal mentality, they can display amazing strength." Menotti nodded.

In this back-to-back situation, how tough the players' nerves are can often affect the final result of the game.
